This is almost impossible to answer with any accuracy. First of all as far as I know she never resided in a Hurricane-prone geographical zone, such as Miami. secondly the possibility exists she may have flown through tropical storms- indeed this did happen and seriously handicapped one of her missions, as the craft was not equipped with deicing or as they are now called electronic diffusion devices to keep precipitation off the plane without moving parts- now we have such things in Nikon Cameras, which apply juice to the crosshairs automatically when the situation warrants. other than that it is impossible to answer the question. the long range missions such as the Electra Project soared ( above the weather) so the problem does not , or did not come up. Weather was, however the contributory cause of the fatal accident involving Postwar- and ex-Wasp aviatrix Dianna ( so she spelled it) Bixby in January of l955. Bucking the weather caused excessive fuel consumption and the craft ran out of fuel with fatal plunge. There is no connection between this and Amelia other than both being Aviatrixes.
